Feature request: Recursive lookup for .qsch models

I think this has already been posted below, but perhaps went stale

IP Browser search for symbol's library/implementation

When a symbol directory is added to the IP Browser and the symbol’s implementation schematic/libray is next to the symbol it can find it (they are in the same directory) which is great. But it works only if the symbol and it’s library is in the root of the directory what was added to the IP Browser. Is it possible to make the search more than one level? I hope this search method does not cause problems and difficulties because it would be convenient for grouping the symbols and their impl…

I keep each symbol and its hierarchical model together:

MyLibrary\
    Filters\
        MyFilter.qsym
        MyFilter.qsch

If I add MyLibrary as a user path, QSPICE recursively finds MyFilter.qsym and shows it in the component tree, but it does not recursively find the side-by-side MyFilter.qsch .

So currently:

• .qsym lookup: recursive
• .qsch lookup: not recursive

It would be great if QSPICE also searched for the .qsch in the same subdirectory as the .qsym . This would let symbols and their hierarchical models stay together in an organized folder structure.

Aside from @KSKelvin suggestion to turn each symbol into an embedded subcircuit, the only workarounds seem to be: (a) flatten the folder structure and lose the organization, (b) add every subfolder individually to the search path so its .qsch is found, or (c) collect all .qsch files into one flat/root directory and add that directory tot he search path…
